You Two Again?

I decided to go for a ride today and I ran into my sister inlaws on my way up Alum Rock Park. It nice running into them. The roads were much drier than the other day so I went part way up Mt. Hamilton Rd via Miguelita Rd.

Goodbye Jeordi

I have to say goodbye to my pet Jeordi aka the "Boss". I will miss you and the rides we took on the Xtracycle to the track on Sundays. I know you are in a better place now.

Intervals...Intervals...Intervals

Today was a good day to ride. After the last nights precipitation dousing I knew the roads would be damp. I didn't get out till about noon, figuring I would let the roads dry up abit.

I started up with a high cadence from the house then when I hit Piedmont Road, I started my intervals. Once I got to Alum Rock Park, I held a steady 70 rpm on the climb. There is a short climb to the top after passing the gate so I decided to pick up the pace and try to do a standing climb all the way to the top. I manage to do 80% of that effort. I was happy with that effort.


On the way down, I ran into my sis-in-law C and her sister M. I took it easy the rest of the way home keeping them company.

UPS Goes Green

You may not believe this, but UPS delivered a package to my house today and he was on a Schwinn tri-cycle bike with a burley trailer. I asked him, "Are you serious?" He said, the company was trying to save money and are now making deliveries by bike. I wish I took a pic of it. It was hard to believe it but I Google it and found this

Mill Creek Road

The neighborhood streets where littered with golden brown leaves. The leaves made crackling sounds as I rode over them. The chill in the air confirmed that fall has come upon us.

I decided to hit an old road that I use to ride 15+ years back. Mill Creek Road in Fremont is 4.25 miles going up. From what I recall this is a hard climb. But today it seemed easy.

I wish I brought my camera to catch the changing colors of the season.

Alum Rock Park Ride

Last Saturday morning I did a ride to Alum Rock Park. Did some hill climb intervals/sprints.


Then I took the bike out on the trail as well...well as far as my 700x23 tires would allow me to!


I got a glimpse of quite a few deer during the ride as well.


And I got to break in the new Garmin Edge 705 as well!

Find for the Day

It never ceases to amaze me what you might find on the road while biking. This is my find for the day.

Another addition to my BT gadgets.
